I was experiencing some shedding prior to my treatment. After my 1st treatment (7days), when I removed my head wrap and for the following 3-5 days I was shedding about 2x the amount I was previously. However, I took special notice of where I was shedding. (had been for quite a long time) Today where I was shedding, there is brand new hair growth where previously there hadn’t been. It was noticeable shedding to me. Of course we are constantly assessing and watching our hair (at least I was). Truth be told, I wasn’t going to use HFF. I was going to do restoration surgery. I am SO happy I was turned down by the Dr I went to see. “your hair follicles aren’t healthy or strong enough to get a good result from my procedure, I do not recommend the restoration for you”.

Brilliant testimonial Robert, I appreciate the details of how you apply the product and your raw experience as you progressed through it. Thanks mate!

Hey Jason, and Nubianshun, Yes I did shed, A lot in fact. After speaking with the consultant it is quite normal for it to happen. The hair follicles are rest, so to speak, and the dead, clogged follicles and “old hair” need to be shed in order for the new hair to grow in the follicles. Honestly, I will be starting my 3rd treatment end of this month, March 2017. I have literally noticed my frontal area with new, easily visible hairs growing in!! Even thicker that when I first noticed it after my 1st treatment. Lastly, I grounded my expectations on what I was to expect with my results. 1- it will take time 2- persistent dedication to my healthy and well being (diet, exercise, stress release ect…) and 3- multiple applications over the course of whatever time I am willing to dedicate. I am VERY HAPPY thus far. Just simply seeing the beginnings of my regrowth has given me tremendous faith in myself and these Products. PS. I highly recommend Shaving your head, and I used a cut T-shirt to cover the paste (i used it lil thicker 2nd time around, THEN covered it with gauze to hold it in place) and using all of Dr. Sebi’s products for total health. It will increase your healing and regrowth, overall.

Time Magazine put Donald Trump on its cover last year. The Forward’s Jake Romm called the cover shot a covert act of political subversion. It became the most-read article in the history of our digital publication. A year later, his analysis rings even truer than ever.

Time Magazine’s annual “Person of the Year” announcement is, year after year, grossly misunderstood. Time Magazine is clear on its sole criterion – “the person who had the greatest influence, for better or worse, on the events of the year” –yet, do a simple search on Twitter and you will find countless people who seem to think that the “Person of the Year” selection is tantamount to an endorsement. Previous winners have included Joseph Stalin (1939, 1942), Ayatollah Khomeini (1979), Adolf Hitler (1938), and other figures who I think it is safe to assume the Time staff does not endorse.

This year, it should come as no surprise that President-elect Donald Trump was chosen to grace the cover of Time’s annual issue (shot by Jewish photographer

). “For better or worse,” Trump, during his campaign and now after his election, has certainly been among the greatest influences on the events of the year. For clues as to how Time feels about that question — is it “for better or worse?” — we can look to the image chosen for the cover of the issue. The decisions that Time made regarding how to photograph Trump reveal a layered, nuanced field of references that place the image among, in this viewer’s opinion, the magazine’s greatest covers.

In order to deconstruct the image, let’s focus on three key elements (leaving aside the
placement of the ‘M’
in ‘Time’ that makes it look like Trump has red horns): the color, the pose, and the chair:

The Color

Notice how the colors appear slightly washed out, slightly muted, soft. The palette creates what we might call a vintage effect. The image’s sharpness and detail reveal the contemporaneity of the picture, but the color suggests an older type of film, namely, Kodachrome.
Kodachrome
, the recently discontinued film produced by Kodak, was designed to create accurate color reproduction in the early 1900’s. It was immensely popular between the late 30’s and 70s, and its distinctive look defines our common visual concept of nostalgia.

By reproducing a Kodachrome color palette, the Time cover makes us reimagine the cover as if it were an image from the era of Kodachrome’s mass popularity. (Where your mind goes when thinking about leaders from the era of
World War Two
, segregation, and the Cold War era is up to you.) This visual-temporal shift in a sense mirrors a lot of the drives that fueled Trump’s rise. Trump ran a campaign based on regressive policies and attitudes —anti-environmental protection, anti-abortion, pro-coal, etc. This election was not just about regressive policy choices, but also about traditional values (defined primarily by the Christian right), about nostalgia for American greatness and security, about nostalgia for a pre-globalized world.
